Do We Get Salary in Notice Period

by

Employees will get a salary during the notice period for each working day and eligible leave. The notice period is still considered regular employment, and all the benefits will be paid. However, the last month’s salary will be paid under full and final settlement along with other benefits the employee is eligible for.

For example, if an employee is under a 3-month notice period, the first two months’ salary will be paid along with the other employees on the salary date. But the last month’s salary will be paid as full and final settlement i.e. after 3 to 4 days from the actual salaries date.

In some cases, employers don’t want the employee to work during the notice period such as lockdowns or lack of projects, in such cases, the employer may pay the salary for the notice period and exit the employee.

The above rules are mostly applicable to 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and all other notice periods. All top companies in India like TCS, Cognizant, Infosys, Accenture, HCL, and almost all local companies will pay their salaries during the notice period.
